"There's no doubt that paraquat causes pulmonary fibrosis when taken orally," observes a California lung physiologist, Dr. Jeff Golden, "but there's a gap as far as knowing what to expect with inhalation." Exploring the medical literature, Golden noted a report that Malaysian farm workers who accidentally inhaled paraquat while spraying with it recently suffered only temporary throat bleeding. Another reason for skepticism was voiced...
...then multiplied into countless duplicate bacteria, each containing the insulin gene, but incapable of producing insulin. In the work announced last week, Microbiologist Herbert Boyer of the University of California, San Francisco, along with Biochemist Arthur Riggs of the City of Hope Medical Center near Los Angeles and Physiologist Wylie Vale of the Salk Institute in San Diego synthesized copies of the gene for somatostatin, a hormone in the brains of mammals that inhibits the secretion of pituitary growth hormone. Then they chemically inserted the genes into the DNA of E. coli bacteria, which multiplied and began manufacturing somatostatin...
